Abstract (original English)

Bone tissue as a dynamic tissue is able to repair its minor injuries, however, sometimes the repair cannot be completed by itself due to the size of lesion. In such cases, the best treatment could be bone tissue engineering. The use of stem cells in skeletal disorders to repair bone defects has created bright prospects. On the other hand, changes in the expression level of microRNAs (miRs) can lead to the commitment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to cell lineage. Many studies reported that post-transcriptional regulations by miRNAs are involved in all stages of osteoblast differentiation. After the preparing adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells, the target cells from the third passage were cultured in two groups, transfected MSCs with miR-27a-3p (DM.C + P) and control group. In different times, 7 and 14 days after culture, differentiation of these cells into osteoblast were measured using various techniques including the ALP test and calcium content test, Alizarin Red staining, Immunocytochemistry technique (ICC). Also, the relative expression of bone differentiation marker genes including Osteonectin (ON), Osteocalcin (OC), RUNX Family Transcription Factor 2 (RUNX2), Collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1) was investigated by real-time RT PCR. In comparison with control groups, overexpression of miR-27a-3p in transfected cells resulted in a significant increase in the expres
